Deploy NetApp Simulate ONTAP

This integration testing was performed using Simulate ONTAP configured as a single node. Simulate ONTAP 9.x is a virtual simulator for ONTAP® software. The virtual simulator was deployed as a virtual machine in VMware. For this integration, the STORAGE SYSTEM NAME is set to mycluster.

  1. Download the simulator OVA file from Simulate ONTAP Download.

  2. Deploy the virtual machine.

    Follow the instructions in the NetApp documentation.

    The virtual simulator software does not support volume encryption by default. Upgrade the virtual machine with an image that supports volume encryption. Contact NetApp for information about upgrading the image and for licenses that support volume encryption.

  3. Add a record in your DNS server for the Cluster Management.

  4. Configure the NTP server as explained in the NetApp documentation.

  5. Install the root CA certificate from your root CA:

    1. Open a command window and sign in to the NetApp ONTAP Cluster Management.

      % ssh admin@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

    2. Install the root CA certificate.

      mycluster::> security certificate install -vserver mycluster -type server-ca -subtype kmip-cert
